This is a summary of recent technology and site configuration changes that affect the English Wikipedia. Note that not all changes described here are necessarily live as of press time; the English Wikipedia is currently running version 1.44.0-wmf.5 (d64f667), and changes to the software with a version number higher than that will not yet be active. Configuration changes and changes to interface messages, however, become active immediately.

(none relevant to the English Wikipedia)

• The <title> of the API help page is now different from the title of an API results page. (r26933, bug 11721)
• An API query for the user list now accepts 'registration' as a possible piece of information to return. (r26953, bug 11562)

• $wgNoticeScroll (which controls the scrolling of the donations message in the sitenotice) was turned off for Wikimedia wikis (see related story).

• Internationalisation has been continuing as normal; help is always appreciated! See mw:Localisation statistics for how complete the translations of languages you know are, and post any updates to bugzilla or use Betawiki.
